Modi govt renews foreign funding licence of IRF; then suspends 4 officers

September 2, 2016

New Delhi, Sep 2: Four home ministry officials, including joint secretary of the foreigners division G K Dwivedi, have been suspended for the renewal of the foreign funding licence of Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik's Islamic Research Foundation (IRF).

zakir The renewal of the licence embarrassed the Centre as it came even as agencies are trying their best to slap terror charges against Dr Naik in the wake of a massive hate campaign against him.

"The MHA has suspended four officers, including Dwivedi and three officers below him. A departmental inquiry is being ordered against him to find out if there was any mala fide intention behind renewal of registration of IRF under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010 (FCRA). Action will be taken accordingly," said an MHA official.

Home ministry officers said it is highly unlikely that the file regarding licence renewal for IRF, being scanned not only for possible FCRA violations but also for alleged forced conversions was cleared in a moment of oversight.

"The government and its security agencies are weighing the option of declaring IRF an 'unlawful' organisation under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, and the foreigners division brass decides to renew its FCRA licence. This could well be an intentional act and not a plain goof-up," said an officer.

Incidentally, the MHA had last month sent a standard questionnaire to IRF seeking foreign funding details. An IRF spokesperson was quoted on Thursday by a private news channel as saying that the NGO's licence had been renewed last week and that it had replied to the MHA questionnaire.

Comments

Zakir naik quotes from Vedas \NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI\"... there is no image of God... (I found out its truly mentioned in VEDAS and to my shocking there is severe punishment for idol worshipers in VEDAS)

IF U use your intellect... then U will agree with him and U will stay away to get God's blessing rather than making your own idol and worshiping the Stone.
ZN spoke the truth and it is your ego that U dont want to follow the VEDAS which mentions NA TASYA PrATIMA ASTI...
Worship the CREATOR and not Man made Creations.."

Venki, first can you show any one of his video where he hates any of the holy book of any religion. He says people are not following the religion. Did you read veda? It says not to perform Idol worship. But do we follow? No. Same thing he says. If some one of our community person is doing wrong , we need to show him the mistake. But our community leaders are not doing this. Instead they show others who shows our mistake as wrong. If person is psycho, he never understand this.

Oh my God Modi\s chaddi is slipping..."

Dear Venki,

That means you are not follow or not belive in vedas!! ZN is quoting page no's from the vedas and other holy books. If he says anything wrong show with proof of page no he says. Don't blame any one without proof. Please follow own books instaed of hating other religion. I have gone thorh his speaches after these blames. What he says true. He says follow your holy books. What is wrong in this?

here comes the funny face of saffron, muhh kala

Mosque to host Hindu couple’s marriage

News Network

January 4,2020

Alappuzha, Jan 4: The management committee of a mosque in Kerala is all set to solemnize the wedding of a Hindu couple, setting yet another instance of the communal harmony prevailing in Kerala.

The Cheravally Muslim Jamaat Committee at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in South Kerala is conducting the marriage of Anju and Sharath after the bride's mother approached the Jamaat authorities seeking help.

The marriage will be held at the mosque premises on January 19 as per Hindu rituals and the Jamaat Committee has also prepared the invitations.

Anju's father Ashokan died a few years back and her mother Bindhu was struggling to win bread for her three children. Nujumudeen Alummoottil, a businessman and secretary of the Jamaat had helped the family earlier also.

Hence Bindu sought his help for the marriage of Anju. Nujumudeen discussed it with other members of the Jamaat committee and members of the mosque.

Najumudeen said that there was no hesitation from anyone on conducting the marriage by the mosque at its premises. A gift in cash and gold would be also given to the couple.

Kerala recently witnessed a church allowing the Muslim believers who participated in an anti-CAA meet to offer namaz at the church premises and another church conducting a carol service with the youth of the parish dressed up in traditional Muslim attire.

Well educated, good decision makers , intelects and wise people are keralites.

Kerala is unique in India for cordial relation between different religions. However, this is not being digested by sanghis and are trying to build gulf between the communities. I am sure that people will not let theese anti national succeed in their wicked behaviour. This communal harmoney is a slap on the faces of enemies of society. Well done keralites. Salute to all of you.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

Young energetic Muslim brothers present in Dk ,please note we need young leaders to lead us . Wake up ... and take over .

We respect ur decision sir.

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims
